Faraz Jaka Leads WPT World Championship Heading Into Day 3

Faraz Jaka, also known as "The-Toilet 0" on Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars, is leading the WPT World Championship after two full days of play.

Jaka managed to finish Day 2 with nearly 600k in chips, edging out Day 1 chip leader Shawn Buchanan for the chip lead heading into Tuesday's action.

Only 198 players decided to participate in the WPT World Championship this year, meaning that the final prize pool is dramatically lower than in previous years.

In 2007, a total of 639 players turned up to play in this event, creating a prize pool of nearly $15.5 million that paid the eventual winner (Carlos Mortensen) nearly $4 million. Three years later and the total number of entrants is down to 198, with the first place winner receiving $1.53 million.

There are currently 98 players left in the event after Day 2. The top 18 spots will pay, meaning that we are still a long ways off from bursting the money bubble.
